Stuffed Artisan Cannoli in Little Italy

Stuffed Artisan Cannoli was something I had been dying to try....and on our last trip to Little Italy, I had my chance!!

in front of Caffe Napoli on Mulberry Street, on Saturday 12-930pm and Sunday 12-8pm, they have a cannoli stand

I have never been so happy to see a cannoli ! The owners, Anthony Fontana and Brielle Dahan, have a unique twist to the original cannoli....adding some flavor to make it a bit more hip! These are chocolate dipped shell with mint ricotta filling......they have 15 various flavors each week.....

french toast .....they make a total of 70 different flavors....and I love the smaller size because you can try more than one at a time....

chocolate dipped shell with strawberry filling

these had my name written all over them....peanut butter cup cannoli with a chocolate dipped shell...it was amazing, I must say! The filling was not too sweet and the peanut butter flavor was just the right amount.....

my assistant bought the birthday cake and said it was just wonderful...didn't last long in her house ....

pistachio of course is pretty popular

these are for sure a different twist on the wonderful cannoli dessert, but I think a great idea and you really must give it a try....they use fresh ricotta which is most important for the filling and in their store on Stanton Street you can get micro-mini's to sample a few of the many flavors.......
